The fun in this game comes from first failing miserably and wondering how to even accomplish anything at all and oh look it's that same "training to be a future housewife" ending yet again fuck...and then over repeated playthroughs you get the hang of the systems and eventually your daughter is punching gods and you look back nostalgically on your early days of failure.

DOS/V ... the discs are nice, with even the metal slide covers with the Ganax logo on them. Inside, the box has fucking foam to seat the discs (ordered by alphabet).

>>3515851
I am so jealous of your stuff. Want them too, but that's the nature of Japan things very differently, practically in reverse to western thought. To combat piracy, which is easy on computer systems, the PC games are priced higher with more extravagant packaging, making one want to have the real thing instead of bootlegging. Sadly, it just made me not able to afford more of the good stuff.

>>3515862

Yes, it is possible in the old DOS English version. She's not a daughter by blood anyway, so it's okay.

>>3516393
Yeah, it is the Japanese version. I just played the English game so much, I felt it was fair the developers get some of my money. I also continued to buy a few of their PC games.

>>3516346
To continue on from my previous replies (>>3516339 and >>3516380), it is possible that the console versions may have cleaned things up from the PC versions, so maybe no "un-dress" in them (I have not played the console versions as much as the DOS version, demonstrated by the PCE 2 is still brand new unopened). Also, perhaps no one knows, but isn't it strange that the king/player suddenly has a little girl?


Pic related is also from Gainax, and I think it is similar to Princess Maker. It is called "The Ayanami Raising Project (with Asuka [PS2])".

In the DOS version, it did have the boobs exposed and as she gets older she'll gain some carpet to match the drapes. So, in all likelihood, that may get removed too from the Steam edition.

[Anonymous No.3516460]

>>3516450
I'm pretty sure the Un-Dress was only accessible if you activated debug mode anyway.
Which was easy as fuck to do, but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't available in normal gameplay.

[Anonymous No.3516493]

>>3516460
Yep, "MOPI = 1" as mentioned before. That is a heck of a "debug mode", because new art assets were made to accommodate Matilda's different ages, varying bust sizes, and physique/fitness.

I will say I spent way more time on the DOS version, as I liked its higher resolution in comparison with the Saturn version (which is a green labeled game, all ages, opposed to yellow, lewd, and red, nakedness allowed). As mentioned, I cannot say about the PC-Engine version, as it is still brand new. but I know the PC-Engine has games which shows nudity without issue/warnings as seen in moments prior to screenshot provided (to avoid the pink pixels and lack of steam, I had to use the end of the pan up of the scene because this is a Christian board). I am not sure if the console versions has the same special store because I felt it was best to primarily play the PC version.

[Anonymous No.3516504]

>>3516493
As I recall, the dresses are actually a layer placed on top of the Daughter. The "un-dress" just removes the clothing layer entirely. It's a trick several games do.
The same could be said art assets being exclusive to debugging utilities.

[Anonymous No.3516732]

>>3516504
Like old KISS dolls. Just saying, the lowest layer in the old DOS version did have naughty bits. Meaning there's more than just Barbie-doll anatomy.

However, for max perviness or deviantness >>3515732 does point out the addition of voice acting which I haven't fully experienced yet. YET.


Back on topic, I remember there was some knockoff game inspired by Princess Maker 2, called God Save the Queen made by some independent developer. Never played it, but it seemed like it is very similar.

[Anonymous No.3516747]

>>3516732
>God Save the Queen
nah, it's pretty different.
it's more of a choose your own path storybook instead of a growing simulation.
rpg aspects are minimal.

[Anonymous No.3516807]

>>3516460
You could also replace the dress file with a blank which resulted in the dresses not being loaded.
I tried that with the PC98 version but haven't had success so far.
I expect it has some way to access the Undress.

In PM1 you could get a hidden undress command by pressing a button before cloth selection.

Beyond that there were also the vacation images which got censored in most versions.

[Anonymous No.3516885]

I played the Refine version and beat it a few times. Like many Japanese Windows port it uses this ugly filter that makes the game look worse but it's not THAT big of an issue.

It's the fastest version of Princess Maker 2 and is worth playing even if it's just another excuse to replay Princess Maker 2. Not sure about endings though.

Of course! The first and the second, the first one focused on Mana a new character (voiced by the same actress portraying Ayanami), but the second allows for Ayanami and Asuka to be potentials (and Kaworu if, someone is interested). In the Picture is PC version of 2, Saturn version of 1 (I originally played the first one on PC, and got the Saturn ones because they are $1USD each, but $10 shipping from Japan). Also in the pic up top is two strip mahjong games, which was why I got them direct from Gainax, 18+ games from the official source. Just to keep the image relevant to the thread, Super Famicom Princess Maker 1 as well.

>>3516937
Agreed, it's a great read to inspire players to try their own paths/decisions. Which is what I would praise Princess Maker 2 for.

Amazing, you know your stuff. I haven't played GoS2 because I didn't like the art style, GoS1 looked just like a TV episode.
The SNES princess maker boxart looks really pretty, by the way.

Also, I'm drooling all over these Eva collector discs and screen saver collections... say, anon, would it be possible for you to rip these and upload to MEGA or something? I've been dying to get more Eva desktop goodies like these, only got a bunch of screensavers and stuff from some old anime magazine CD-ROMs, which I think were taken from some of those collector disc.

Well, there we have it, I was saying about the DOS version ... I didn't want to make any screencaps for proof to avoid the appearance of the bear >>3517325

At least you didn't go with the "Un-dress" and took the effort in taking screencaps at 17. Anyway, this demonstrates why I like the pixel art format of the DOS art I was mentioning throughout the thread.


>>3517367
Yeah, as time went on Sadamoto Yoshiyuki wanted to change from his perfected artstyle at the high point of Nadia to early Eva, and purposefully forced himself to go in weirder directions after reaching his pinnacle. As noted as the Eva series went on to FLCL. I guess it keeps an artist fresh given that he can always go back, opposed to reaching the max and staying there like Urushihara Satoshi (for /vr/ that would be the character designer/artist for the Langrisser/Warsong and Growlanser games amongst a lot of other more obscure ones).

As for the Collectors Discs, they are mostly screenshots and some silly "desktop accessories" which I am not sure works in Windows 10 at modern resolutions, especially now with pixels being so small (the things were pixel art too). I am missing vol.2 of the collector's discs and vol.1 of the screen savers disc because I was more brake than I was now when those came out. I know the stuff is available to download online, I even remember seeing a torrent for them. Sadly, I'm a bit lazy and I want to "clean up" my computer before bothering to upload. Also Mega doesn't quite work for me. Sorry (not that I don't want to share, I just really have that bad a computer).


Anyway, back to Princess Maker games. I loved the pixel art. Like another /vr/ thread, I really do appreciate and respect the effort in artistry creating images in high resolution with creative use of a restrictive low color count of a lot of old Japanese PC games. I understand it is an aesthetic taste of mine and just hope for options to switch between styles for PM2.

Since it's on steam, could someone make a mod to replace all the art with the uncensored original DOS pixel art? I would totally buy this if that were to eventually happen.

[Anonymous No.3517483]

>>3517442
Anyway I don't think Sadamoto was in charge of GoS2 (I'm not even sure if he was the character design for Mana Kirishima and the other 2 new kids from GoS1, but he probably was).
GoS2 looks like it was done by a completely different artist and staff. GoS1 was made by actual TV series staff.

About the collector's discs, I'm mostly interested in these silly desktop accessories, if you ever were to rip them and upload, make sure to somehow make a thread here on /vr/ or something!

Also, do you happen to know if the nude Mana scene was censored on the console versions of GoS? I always wondered that, I played the PS1 version along time ago but now I only have the PC version.

[Anonymous No.3517502]

>>3517442
It wasn't see-through in the original versions.
I've read that on the Saturn you could also get nudity via Action Replay since the nude paper dolls were still included.

>>3517467
Seems difficult due to the different resolutions.

[Anonymous No.3517503]

>>3517443
I preferred his earlier stuff without ... or light ... not the forests of modern days. I'd take a picture of some of the Urushihara Satoshi characters in games (some PC-Engine, some Saturn, etc.). Rest assured, as wholesome as some of the console games may be, like Growlanser as Sony Japan would not allow on their systems back then, the female characters will lose their clothes in one of his artbooks.

I am getting ready to sleep, so no more silly photos of stuff, so I'll just use one of my "representative MAME screencaps" (yes, I was so OCD many years ago to make my own snap.zip set of captures for a representative screenshot of every ROM in MAME typically showing off the cute female character, or cool scene, or at worst a title screen such that scrolling through everything can look interesting). First one with Urushihara character designs, nekkid, so let me edit it for this board. Yep, it is interesting to scroll through MAME on my computer.

I believe it is on the PS2 version as you see there ... challenging the blue board. By that point in time, Sony Japan relaxed their policies from the scope of /vr/'s allowed timeframe. I cannot verify as I do not have it for PS2.


>>3517502
I am guessing you mean original versions as in PC-88 and actual DOS/V. As I mostly played the English release on DOS, remember it is the game which set me to buy and support the devs in those pictures I've taken on this thread.


Thanks for the thread, reminding me of a lot of fun I had back then with this series of games. Must sleep, work later ... please don't turn this thread into a stealth loli thread. I am sorry for derailing it a few times.

[Anonymous No.3517572]

>>3517546
Yep, got the first two ... also have Next King on Saturn plus another on Saturn I am too sleepy to remember ... going into derailment territory now ... so let me steer this back to where it should be:

Gainax games did empower a lot of artists ... I noticed the artist change from 2 to Dreams Come True (3) ... and it looks like 4 and 5 are another ...

The new Steam version may likely require some of the content to be cleaned up from their more. Some of which are pretty taboo and unacceptable in the format of videogames these days, still the gameplay I feel still stands strong and happy the games can reach a new generation of players.

That was a good adventure. How's PM1 and 3?

[Anonymous No.3525903]

>>3525841
PM1 is pretty much a lesser PM2, and PM2 is pretty much a lesser PM5. These games are basically the same but different amount of contents. PM3 is pretty good, but it cuts out adventures. You get to see Daughter I and Daughter II as your rivals, though.

[Anonymous No.3525915]

I haven't played PM1, but I personally liked PM3. Gameplay was entirely simulation but it added events and was just a lot harder than 2.

You'd get a lot more out of it if you understood the dialogue.

Surprised this thread still exists! Wonderful to be back, and glad to see the new release on Steam.

Corrections needed to be made:

It appears to be called "Long Life the Queen" on Steam (found it in my Steam search for PM2R). "God Save the Queen" I think was a cool sword in Final Fantasy Tactics.

I was mistaken, it was nips only, but fortunately I am a fan of bare floors and there was "carpet to match the drapes" as I implied. Yet true there were no details "down there" as the deleted post >>3517767 showed.


As for the pic, sadly I bought the game used long ago cart only, so I cannot fully enjoy the Takami Akai boxart/instructions. The game is really fun.

Funnily enough the FM Towns version is a DOS version (same for the PC-98 one), but anyway, it's the first one with the alternative graphics, but still has the nice dithering patterns (see >>3529608).

We're talking about scaling an image with a height of 400 or 480 pixels to 600 pixels. At most you could leave it unscaled and end up with a tiny daughter and portraits.
Maybe you could mod the game to lower the resolution so that you can use the assets from the Towns port.
But why would you want that when the old versions exist?

[Anonymous No.3533873]

>>3533184
I agree the old version is good enough if you really love the dithering. I was thinking you could 2x scale up the images to 1200px but crop the image so it fits 1080p you would only lose a small amount but that sounds stupid to me now so nevermind.

I've played it too much, and I still couldn't figure out how the system actually works, haven't gotten a lot of the endings at all.

I set as a goal to win all the different harvest festivals and beat the god of war in one run and after I'd done that I quit the game.

The ending you get is determined by your stats.
Some endings take priority over others such as the infamous writer ending.

[Anonymous No.3536717]

>>3536321

>stats

I know, but the specifics are BS hard to get when you don't have a guide. Supposedly you have to stay within certain numbers to get the princess, just maxing it won't do.

I spent an insane amount of time learning how to get a quick start and now I don't have the energy for the rest.

For example

>you can get the money chests in desert of death first year if you know where they are and run straight to them, there's 50/50 chance you won't encounter any enemy

>take one chest every 3 weeks and you can send her to school for the first 2 years with no problem

>you can get the sword in the ice world in the same way, just run for it, it will make you invincible in the arena at low levels

>water and forest worlds are pretty useless, ignore them unless you need the sensitivity increase

>you can always win the art contest first year if you send her to school with the desert money

[Anonymous No.3536801]

what do you consider the princess ending? marrying the prince really isn't that hard, you just need refinement/elegance and charisma/glamour for your stats (300 of each would be fine but i think one of them is actually lower than that), and to meet him every January. oh, and your daughter can never gain the 'in love' status because it lowers her affection points for the prince enough that she'll never marry him.

Most the titles there are just some stuff I got direct from the Gainax shop. Back in the day, one can order from Nihon falcom and Gainax directly with rudimentary English (props to their sales), and it was somewhat uncommon to find Japanese sellers open to foreign buyers (because of a few key loud bad apples ruining it for the rest of us, constantly harassing Japanese sellers/stores/distributors in those days, the remnants of those days can still be found with Yahoo! JP auctions by default lists "will not sell outside of Japan"). There were a whole line of "Eva to Yuukaina Nakamatati" games (Eva and good friends) typically of some mini-game variation with CG. However for raising sims like Princess Maker, I showed the Ayanami Raising Project >>3516450 earlier, and now I remember another called Mercurious Pretty where you raise a homunculus which was on the Dreamcast and PC-98 (lots of great stuff originated from those old Japanese computer games).

>>3530626
I bought 3 and 4-2 solely for Rimu. Well, I have almost all things Cosmic Fantasy, but I've only really played through 2.

>>3531150
US 2 (and I think JP 2, not willing to play through again) has steam covering up the interesting parts. The Visual Collection, where I captured the image from, does not have the steam. As noted by the image name, type in that code in 3 to get a very nice topless pic of Rimu. In 4-2, Van walks in on Rimu taking a shower and yes, still naked, she at least goes topless in every game she's been in (and one she's not). So you can see, it was love at first sight for me when I was 5.

I did say Mercurious Pretty is about raising a homunculus. I think those by default are supposed to be somewhat creepy.

As for Tactical Fighter, I haven't given it enough of a fair chance in time but so far it has not jived with me. It is a game where one does get to choose the character's routine, training regimen, work schedule, diet all for her fighting ability, so YES! The game very much is a raising sim! I had forgotten all about it until you just mentioned it.


>>3553697
I only remember sending my CC info direct. Still very cool they'd offer to sell and ship internationally. There will be regrets, but just know it was super expensive to ship from Japan, and I don't think that has changed much. So it is understandable given the price of the stuff we wanted, plus shipping made it prohibitive to acquire some things and you had to be judicious for what you chose to get.
